OH YESH!! The 9th Wonder Joints I had to "blog dig" (instead of crate-digging) and there's a full damn near 80 tracks of beats he never released from years back (pete rock also has some unreleased old tracks no one ever spit on), and on the track list for this project, I name the producers for each beat (correction on the FUGEES joint, i should've just said 'Wyclef produced it' -- it's the Zeolots beat on 'The Shine' for example) my aim was to get beats cats don't normally spit on, that 1) i knew would make this mixtape sound different from others and 2) felt good together when i blended 'em -- hopefully it'll get people to pay more attention to not only my music, but how dope some of these producers are that don't get the attention i feel they deserve. ONE IN PARTICULAR is Count Bass D, that dude goes hard on production, plus he's from Tennessee like me and is one of the few dudes MF DOOM genuinely fucks with on the music end. SOME OF THESE CUTS NEVER HAD AN INSTRUMENTAL so i went in and made one out of the original song -- The Roots joint for instance -- there's no instrumental for it out there, i had to chop up the original beat -- it took forever, but i'm glad i did it now.

exactly. can't make a penny off of it and you can do whatever u want. the challenge is to turn around an put out an album that isn't getting overshadowed by your mix tape cause your listeners will be expecting that same quality. i fkin' love it.

intro has a lotta good messages, i can dig it. "Indeed" is cool. the verses r dope, flow and lyrics r on point. im not crazy about the beat or hook tho. "Crimson" is that shit tho. mellow beat, dope flow. i can dig it, i like this one. "Eternal Black Sunshine" is pretty sick. very well written, and the way u switch up ur flow is real proper. "Counter Clockwise" is bangin 2. good beat choice, and ur ridin the beat properly. straight spittin, just real hip-hop. i like this man, ima DL it...

I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but I like what I've heard so far...

Indeed- this track is the way to open up a mixtape forreal, just having fun in the booth letting you know that this is feel good music.

Crimson - I started nodding as soon as the beat came on cuz I'm up all night watching adult swim anyway. But you came with different type of flow for this one and showed some versatility which is always good in my book.

I'm listening to the rest now but I'm diggin where you're going so far

Good looks! I'm really waiting to see what yall have to say about the second half of the album too, it graduates to a different feel, songs get longer, but i'm glad cats is recognizing i tried my best to keep flipping it. i hate it when a solo artist does the SAME APPROACH on the SAME project.

oh i mean, so far, it's been comments on the first few songs of the album, no ones gone past track 6 with their critiques, i'm thinking it's because my reverbnation page only displays the first few songs unless u click 'hear all songs'. and if u click the FIRST picture of my album it takes you to the tumblr page and the full download is available to unzip all the songs, it's like 20 tracks.

gonna kind of skim thru this and listen to what i can..im diggin the intro gives it a dope feel..shit got a different feel flow comes in nice..flow is dope..lyrics are goodtracks nice.crimson fire beats cool qaulity sounds weird to me.flow is nice..eternal blacksunshine beats fire..like how u come in with the melodic flow,nice lyrcs makes u wanna listensome reall nice beats on here flow is steady thru out..got a nice vibe thruout like i said..only thing i feel like its missing is catchy hooks wich im a big fan of but i like it.
